I am all for animal testing. I am against animal cruelty, but if an animal has to undergo pain and suffering so humans may be safe, so be it. I'd rather have a rat or a rabbit feel some pain or die than a human die.

I remember a couple months ago me and my family brought our dog to a groom room.And then when we went to pick it up.

The lady had told me that my dog would die because it's teeth were getting old.And when me and my family brought our dog home.

It had abuse marks on it and bruises.

The lady just made up an exuse about our dog's teeth because she didn't want me and my family to notice the abuse marks on it.

Nobody is arguing here that animals should be abused. I'm 100% positive that nobody is in favor of "animal cruelty."

It's a different issue whether animals should be used for testing of products, medications, etc., or for general research. We've learned a lot about the human brain and made strides in performing surgery on human brains after extensive examination of the brains of primates. Some people argue that this is good because we can't just take a live human being and start doing research on his or her brain in as detailed of a fashion as we can with primates. Others feel it is not fair to the animal, no matter what strides science makes for human benefit.

This debates is not pro/anti-animal abuse. Nobody likes abuse. It's a question of whether we should use animals in research or testing to benefit humans.
